Question

Four times a number reduced by 5 equals to 19. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number is taken to be 'x'

Then four times of the number is '4x'

When it is reduced by 5 it equals to 19

⇒ 4x−5=19

4x=19+5 (Transposing −5 to RHS)

4x=24

∴ x=

4

24

(Transposing 4 to RHS)

⇒ x=6

Hence the required number is 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

$5 - 4x = 19 \\ - 4x = 14 \\ x = \frac{ - 7}{2}$
